Opis: Reality+ - David Chalmers
In the coming decades, the technology that enables virtual and augmented
reality will improve beyond recognition. Within a century,
world-renowned philosopher David J. Chalmers predicts, we will have
virtual worlds that are impossible to distinguish from non-virtual
worlds. But is virtual reality just escapism? In a highly original work
of 'technophilosophy', Chalmers argues categorically, no: virtual
reality is genuine reality. Virtual worlds are not second-class worlds.
We can live a meaningful life in virtual reality - and increasingly, we
will.
What is reality, anyway? How can we lead a good life? Is there a god?
How do we know there's an external world - and how do we know we're not
living in a computer simulation? In Reality+, Chalmers conducts a grand
tour of philosophy, using cutting-edge technology to provide
invigorating new answers to age-old questions.
Drawing on examples from pop culture, literature and film that help
bring philosophical issues to life, Reality+ is a mind-bending journey
through virtual worlds, illuminating the nature of reality and our place
within it.
